Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until it starts to brown and release its oils, about 5 minutes.

2

Add Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Incorporate Garlic

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4

Combine Lentils and Broth

Add the canned diced tomatoes, rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

5

Simmer the Soup

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

6

Serve

Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
